How it Works...MINI Ambient Lighting

[@loenigma69]

I love all the tech in my MINI. Such a cool little car!

[@oddities-whatnot]

Yep. Ive just got a Cooper S and its an awesome interior. Plus the fact its ace to drive :)

[@fat_lizard6523]

It took 8 years to finally find how to do the rainbow option. 8 YEARS.

[@simritadhillon583]

You are kidding me. Now I don’t feel so bad. I got my car 4 months ago.

[@mandym4211]

Just perfect! Thank you

[@oddities-whatnot]

Thats extremely helpful. Just bought a Cooper S today from a local Mini dealer and I shall try this tomorrow to set the ring to one colour. Cheers.

[@ekimandersom4478]

You people should learn to read a fucking manual

[@terriescharf7656]

Thank you! The best way to tell me what the lights mean and how to change them!

[@capturingcars]

Glad to help!

[@trismurray]

Exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks.

[@capturingcars]

You’re welcome, we’re glad it could help.

[@karensmith1901]

Thank you for this video... I have got my first second hand mini, and it's driving me mad that it's green, now I now how to change it!! ❤️

[@kyleskaterham4366]

Most helpful video ever thank you so much!!!

[@Echoes1910]

Thanks for this. I bought my stunning 2016 Mini Cooper S 3 weeks ago and I’ve been fiddling around in settings on the idrive trying to work out how you change the colour not realising the button in above the windscreen!

[@betsybrains]

Great info! I today bought a 2014. I love the ambient light setting choices. I only wish there were an option to turn off the ring around the radio. No real complaints. Just toggling the switches and learning. 🥰

[@capturingcars]

Thanks for watching, we really hope you enjoy your new car!!

[@Pr3miumKiller]

Hi maybe a little late but you know you can actually turn off the ring right

[@betsybrains]

@@Pr3miumKiller I didn't know! Car's doing great. Although it's brought back my teenage aggression in driving style. Sucker's quick! Tell me how to turn off the ring when you get a chance Thanks!

[@Stallzyx]

@@betsybrains you just go to central display and uncheck the tick box at the top. I found this out because I was turning it on and off in a vehicle I was looking at

[@betsybrains]

@@Stallzyx Thanks! I work late nights. The other night on the interstate on my way home I caught myself going 110 mph! Oops!

[@christinequarterman9991]

Thank you that explains a lot

[@robertdavenport1109]

Amazing thanks 🙏🏻

[@knryland1]

Brilliant!

[@_amygames]

Hey, how do you get the light to switch colour automatically and go through all the different colours on ambient? X

[@CarlosCarbajale]

you press the color change botton and leave it pressed like 30 seconds until it stars looping the colors..

[@KLa35]

Thank you for this

[@gl1zzyboi699]

Thanks man good tutorial

[@ab4277]

I have the nav pack in my 2020 one, but I can only figure out how to change the lights under the console and in the doors, not the ring light around the screen. My menu is also completely different to yours with no settings bar like that 🥴

[@magicalgirlmelanie]

it’s been three years but if someone else is on this- my mini- system settings- displays- center instrument- then click on basic display and pick an option!

[@andy_sometimes]

Love the LED centre ring but having had the car for ONE day, the central ring has switched off. Other LEDs fine 🤷‍♀️

[@racheldrew1018]

Thanks so much - really helpful - couldn't understand how my settings were different to my daughters settings! All very clear now!

[@countalucard4226]

I have a 2017 with the top button but can’t find ambient in the settings

[@Susan-pc4xs]

Are there ambient lights in the doors as well? I have a 2021 Mini convertible.

[@liaddanino1838]

Hi great video but how do I turn it off

[@Angisabbs]

Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@goose4150]

And if you hold it again it will get out of the circulating lights right?

[@jonpeach5851]

What’s driving mode then ??? And event view

[@tommyjoe4310]

This feature works from what mini Cooper model years

[@aristrix7693]

is it possible for a model to turn on only in use?

[@nicholasr6381]

can the ambient lighting be retrofitted?

[@primeattack]

Had a 2014 mini before with the Ambient lights. Got a 2015 version now, similar to in the vid... Anyone know how to get the small ambient light strip around the roof control panel to light up? It did in the 2014 and looks like there is a strip there, but can't figure it out

[@franciscohernandez-no8dl]

mate, how can I turn them off ? the mood lights

[@ClaireAran]

Is this feature on the 2011 models?

[@faramarz-nl]

Why not working with music ?😔

[@garchie5150]

Can you change the brightness of the cabin ambient lights?

[@capturingcars]

You certainly used to be able too, yes.

[@allycatR5rox]

Would this be on the 2013 country man?

[@capturingcars]

Sadly not. It was only introduced to the Countryman when the new model was released last year.

[@allycatR5rox]

MJA plc I just got mine and luckily even tho it doesn’t have it on the front it does have the lighting options for other sections of the car :)

[@capturingcars]

Congratulations on your new Car, and enjoy the many colours your interior lighting offers!! :-)

[@mroot8844]

How do you change the brightness of the actual screen?

[@capturingcars]

You can't I don't believe

[@juliec8325]

when i have my lights on certain colours, there’ll be a section of it that’s different to the colour i selected. for example, i’d have it on orange and a bit of it would be green? anyone know how to fix it

[@MoMo-jq3tq]

Is it, perhaps, when the car is operating in economy(green) mode? Some minis are programmable for this feature. Just wondering.

[@rvarm21]

Is that touchscreen?

[@capturingcars]

Not on this particular model, but on the newer ones, yes.

[@jasmin9954]

Can anyone help me? Mine doesnt have that top button u push when it changes color? And its a 2018 mini?

[@Dani-blue]

Do you know if you have the MINI Excitement package? It was an add on feature, $250 and it includes: Adjustable mood lighting is a signature MINI touch. With a host of colors and settings, this lighting accents the doors, footwell and center stack to set the perfect motoring mood. If you don't have the toggle to the right of the where the sunroof switch is, you may not have that feature. I think that should be standard but some people may not want it so I guess that is why it's an option. I believe it used to be standard but changed to an option at some point. I know on my 2018, it was an option

[@MillieonaVespa]

I don't have it either on my mini cooper 2018 model.... Which is a little disappointing.. It must have been an option, I had it on my old 2009 mini it was part of the pepper pack back then and I really enjoyed the feature, ... But bought a high speck Cooper this week and assumed it would be on it.... Loving my new car though... Love love love her

[@sp-pz8uc]

It is an option but maybe you could still have it fitted.

[@countalucard4226]

jaaaaaa I have a 2017 and have the top button but can’t find the word “ambient” in the settings.

[@thereyna1000]

Ambient lighting not working ??? it turns off after half an hour of continuous use in the 2019 mini 3-door. I already moved the settings, display and it does not turn on again. I have to turn off the car and wait a few minutes for it to start again.

[@capturingcars]

It would be well worth calling your supplying MINI dealership, it's probably something really simple.

[@thereyna1000]

MJA plc thanks men

[@jcarri78]

Almost 6 yrs to find out how to get it to switch by it self😅
